Miette

Last fall during the book tour, I visited a bunch of cupcake bakeries and sweet shops in just about every city I passed through. Miette was one of my favorites in San Francisco. If you get a chance, make sure to give them a visit.

They have two locations. One in the Ferry Building and one on Octavia Street. They also have one in Oakland and another opening later this year in Larkspur, California.

In San Francisco, the one on Octavia Street is bigger than the Ferry building location, but both are just as cute as can be.

I loved the colors and the display of sweets. So did Julie.

Everywhere you turn are the cutest treats with adorable packaging.

Lovely macarons.

Panna Cotta and Pots de Creme.

Little cakes.

Lots of little cakes. Miette is known for their sweets of smaller scale.

These are all 6 inch cakes which makes them even more charming.

And check out their cupcakes. Beautiful!

Miette recently released a cookbook filled with recipes of their signature sweets.

Pretty awesome.

And pretty cute. I love the scalloped pages.

It ties in beautifully with the shop accents.

See. Same cupcakes.

But that’s not all.

Marshmallows. I must make some soon.

Crackers and cookies.

Tarts and tartlettes. I just want to sink my teeth right in. Forget the fork.

This book is just so cute that I thought I’d give you guys a chance to win a copy.

And because most people don’t already own 6 X 3 inch pans, I’m giving away two straight and two contour pans so you can make all the little Miette cakes you want. I’m also including some tartlet pans in case you don’t have any of those handy either.

To enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post and answer the following question.

What was the last cookbook you acquired or what is the next cookbook you can’t wait to get your hands on?

The last book I got was a pierogi cookbook from a little Slovak culture center. I sure wouldn’t mind getting this little book. The smaller cakes would be divine too…given that with two of us, full sized cakes sitting around are the last thing we need. :)

My last cookbook purchase is called Almost Meatless by Joy Manning and Tara Desmond. It’s awesome. The name is pretty descriptive. Last night I made the chili, and the recipe served 8 while only using 4 ounces of meat! So much healthier and completely delicious!

Cuuute! Last cookbook I bought was “A Year’s Worth: Recipes from the Dunsandel Store” which is from a cafe 2 hours drive from where I live. I have yet to visit but the cookbook was too charming not to buy!

Damn this place is the epitome of perfect merchandising. I would spend far too much money if I ever got to visit!

Woohoo!! :D It is so good to hear you’re up and baking again! Thanks for this fantastic giveaway…hmm…last cookbook purchased, believe it or not, Julia Child’s famous French cookbook. I still haven’t made anything from it yet! HOBOY sounds like another summer project waiting… ;D

First of all thank you for that lovely tour of the cutest sweet store I have ever seen! I love the attention to detail. Everything looks sooo pretty!

The last cookbook I acquired was the Cake Doctors Cupcake book. And I have used it several times especially for kids parties! I will be using it again this week when my little one turns 3 :) The Malted Milk Ball cupcakes are TDF.

I’m going to have to look into the Pioneer Woman’s book. Looks popular. And oh, by the way, I made my first batch of cake balls today. I find the little suckers a bit hard to dip, but it was my first batch. Not perfect, but YUMMY.

The last cookbook I got was Rocco DiSpirito’s Now Eat This!: 150 of America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories. I can’t wait to get my hands on Cake Pops: Tips, Tricks, and Recipes for More Than 40 Irresistible Mini Treats!

My mom gave me the Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook… it’s awesome! It has all sorts of “make it yours” pages, where it will give 10 options of ways to change up something basic. Perfect for someone just starting to cook for myself!

So, so cute. I am headed to San Francisco and just wrote down this store…definitely have to check it out now. Last cookbook I bought was yours…Bakerella…I am HOOKED on those darn cake pops and so are my kiddos. Thanks for the all the inspiring creativity :)

The last cookbook I bought was the Better Homes and Gardens Pink Ribbon Cookbook. My mother died from breast cancer. I love to read and look at different kinds of cookbooks, and would love to add this one to my collection!

My cousin just came back from a European vacation and brought me back Fergus Henderson’s book, Nose to Tail eating. And after seeing this blog post, the next cook book I want is this one! Those cakes look soooo yummy!

The last book I got was Hello, Cupcake. Guess we can tell I like baking, right? I want to get one of the canning and preserving cookbooks, but anything that gives me baking and decorating ideas is useful to me!
